WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- The Winnipeg Jets are hoping they can continue scoring by committee until their top sniper returns to the line-up.
The Jets used goals by defenseman Dustin Byfuglien and right winger Blake Wheeler to defeat the Calgary Flames 2-0 at the MTS Centre on Monday night, but other players are hoping to step up into the void left by Patrik Laine's concussion when they challenge the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday.
The 18-year-old rookie, who has 21 goals this season, has been off the ice since being rocked by an open-ice hit from Buffalo's Jake McCabe on the weekend.
